Welcome to Lin Li Research Group
Our interest is exploring the structure-property-processing relationships in structural metals and advanced materials, with particular emphasis on size effect, structural disorder, and extreme processing conditions, and their roles in mechanical and functional properties. Our research utilizes integrated computational materials science and engineering (ICME) approach, coupling multi-scale materials modeling and simulations, analytical theories, and experimental means to establish connections between atomic process and macroscopic material performance, particularly for amorphous alloys, nanostructured alloys, additive manufactured metals, and low-dimensional materials.
New Positions
We are looking for enthusiastic undergraduate, graduate students to join our group. Please see Opportunities for details.
